Hey Guys so i'm attempting my first BIAB and have purchased a bunch of grain and have been trolling around learning as much as possible. Basically this is where I need you guys to help me out an make sure this sounds ok!
Going for a flavorful dark ale, something along the lines of a White Rabbit. I have appropriated a recipe to this:
BATCH SIZE: 11L (2.9g)
From Brewers Friend Calculator
Estimated OG 1.063
Estimated FG 1.016
Estimated IBU: 35.39
Estimated ABV: 6.22%
Grain
1: 1.50kg Marris Otter pale 50.8%
2: 0.50kg Pale 2-row 16.9%
3: 0.35kg Chocolate malt 11.9%
4: 0.25kg Cara malt 8.5%
5: 0.15kg Dark Crystal 5.1%
6: 0.20kg Dark DME 6.8%
Hops
7: 15g (.5oz) Cluster @60min
8: 10g (.4oz) Hersbrucker @15min
9: 5g (.2oz)Amarillo @15min
10: 7g (.2oz) Cascade @ 5min
11: 15g (.5oz)Cascade DRY HOP
Want to do a 60min mash but my question is at what temperature!? Do I need to do a mash out for 20mins at a higher temperature?
-Do my grain percentages look ok? anything I should switch around? I have no idea really what each grain will do for the flavor profile!
- If I am going to make an 11 Liter batch (2.9 gallons) what should my pre-boil volume be? Is this the same volume I start with when mashing the grains?
Lastly do my hop additions look ok? I love hops so not sure if I should up them? or think this will give a good robust flavor?
Appreciate any help!
Cheers
Chris
